The search engine redirect virus will make it so that when you type in a search phrase and hit enter, and choose to click on a returned search result; instead of being taken to that result you will instead be redirected to a web page that has nothing to do with your subject matter.

The creators of the search engine redirect virus have two goals in mind. One, make a profit by taking you to advertising pages instead of what you were looking for. Two, creating a backdoor on your system to allow for more virus and maleware to be installed and steal private data right from your hard drive.
